I think I'm riding #SoundTransit light rail illegally, though not on purpose.
I installed a virtual #OrcaCard on my phone while hoofing it across SeaTac, was looking for a scanner at the entrance to the station, but didn't send a one. Went up to the platform, none there either. A fellow passenger was as clueless as me, and a train was coming, so I just got on.
Nice trains.
I think they're the same as #SCVTA's under the hood, just more stylish lines (not hard).

2026 is going to be the year of open payments on ORCA! 🤭😂🫠

1. Open Google Wallet
2. Select Add to Wallet
3. Choose Transit pass
4. Search for “ORCA”
5. Tap ORCA, and you’re on your way

That's exactly what I did, and ORCA showed up.

You can now add your ORCA transit card to Google Wallet. It means you can tap in/out using your phone instead of your physical card. I've been waiting forever for this feature. Yipeeee!
